Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Lets put this 'quantum leap' comment into perspective.
PH was clearly excited about something and given his yooof allowed that excitement to get the better of him with his over-enthusiastic use of the phrase. However, he was informing us something good is coming and since then, there have been a couple of positive developments.
Those of you aligning the quantum leap with the 1st quarter are wrong - read the RNS again carefully; there is nowehere where the quantum leap is confined to a timescale. Maybe PH could have tempered his enthusiasm, but clearly something was driving that and we now know what he was referring to, ie, Chinese, farmout, CO2 storage and 1TCF min gas.
That these havent been brought to market within a week are reflections on the impatient investors here. Despite all the nonsense thats gone before there are now some very positive signs for the next year. If, by this time 2025, we are still where we are now, then PH will be an abject failure. He knows this and he knows this is his last chance at achieving success.
The foundations are now in place. Once development commences, from there we should see some positive and steady increases.
You missed an important part relating to carbon capture and storage, which is quite relevant in todays climate.
"Project III also offers potential for a commercial Carbon Capture and Storage ('CCS') opportunity having a capacity of 151.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. The reservoir's rocks would allow for the application of low-cost, high-impact CCS technologies already in commercial use in Iceland. The project, which has potential to establish a major net-zero hub in central Georgia, underlines Block's commitment to sustainability.
So, if in the mad rantings of the troll, if they can't 'get it out', then they can now get it in.
Multiple opportunities now coming to light. Share price is holding and strangely its only going one way. Unless of course you live in an alternative reality.
The Chinese are operating in the country. Their commitment underlined by the presence of a Chinese organisation using services supplied by CNPC at an onshore location between the Black Sea and Block's Project III.
In a separate project the Chinese have recently completed a 51.6 Km east-west highway costing circa $1 billion.
Re 2 deep drills that the Chinese are doing next to project 3. Further details in the RNS here, dated 22 December 23: https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/block_energy/news/rns/story/wke8lyw
Working being undertaken by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). The reason there is no news is that BLOE "believes news of its initiatives and operating developments no longer conform to a quarterly news cycle and therefore risk compromising strategic and commercial discussions with potential farm-in candidates."
No doubt this will be seized upon by the troll, but it makes sense to avoid compromising strategic and commercial discussions with potential farm-in candidates. The 'quantum leap' posited is not in Q1 2024, rather the comment was that Q1 2024 is going to be 'extremely busy'. Whether that suggests the farm-in candidates will be announced in Q1 remains to be seen, but given the latest RNS it cannot be far off now.
Either put up or shut up.
Rather than repeating your 1970's mantra that 'you can't get it out' why not explain WHY? If you cannot do that, do the world a favour and disappear, otherwise you merely confirm your belligerent luddite ignorance.

"The fact Looed has had to support them as outlined, screams either incompetence or dishonesty in afraid."
Are you for real?
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support that comment and I suggest you withdraw it. Looed has made it abundantly clear his position and support for the company. Clearly instrumental in the prosecution of ZM he has done and knows more than any of us, yet manages that incredibly tenuous information flow link between the company and those of us desperate to see the return of our investment.
To accuse Looed of dishonesty or incompetence on either the company or Looed is one is the most immature ill-advised statements, particularly given you have little to no knowledge of his position and/or the credibility he brings. Indeed, it speaks more of your character.
Good luck engaging with Deloitte, I'm sure you will get equally as far.
"But if they are the aliens then doesn't that make us alien to them. So that means they aren't the aliens at all - we are!"

I'm not saying it was aliens but maybe it was aliens.
"Would you ever do that ...ignore .... there's a lot of sick people in the world who enjoy antagonising others ..."
In this instance its a necessity. The sick people in the world who enjoy antagonising others you refer to are the mono-focussed, ill-informed, uneducated, people who seem to delight in bringing negativity to the board in what they would claim is saving people from themselves.
The last person to claim that mantra was a certain J Savile and we all know what he turned out to be.
Why are you are shooting the messenger.
The fact that the company is prepared to share information with one individual and no one else is down to trust alone in my opinion. They know the message will be delivered honestly and interpreted accordingly. I suspect Looed's connection to the company is one of legal relationships which is why they are willing to trust this relationship.
Given the problems and history it is understandable why they wont communicate with just anyone; 'Hi, I'm a UK based top lawyer and want to know whats going on', doesn't really cut it.
Be grateful that we are blessed with Looed and the robust connection he has with the company along with the additional research he provides.
Sounds like sarah123bore has arrived on the forum. If so, its like a cancer and infests the board with repetitive illiterate singular commentary built around the assumption of being unable to 'get it out', unaware that times and technology has moved on.
Please do not engage with it.

"Let us have debate - Will Paul delist the company and sell to China. Or. Will continue as AIM company and Scotish bunch continue to the SHORT the share price"
Have you been reading sarah1tobore's ladybird book on investing? π π€£π€£π€£
Interesting use of words there: 'Frontera family'. What would you do to protect your family? I wonder if the company see's this in a similar light, particularly with the absolutely disgraceful behaviour by ZM, who deserves to go to jail irrespective of which country thats in.
Clearly a monumental mess to sort out and given all the legal implications its no surprise its taken so long. The company must have confidence to underwrite those costs, and along with the credibility (Atlantic Council, GOGC etc) its clearly evident they are going to extraordinary lengths to resolve.
That "the company continues to work in the best interests of all its shareholders" coupled with the first comment is reassuring indeed.

Best you dont travel with Emirates then...
No, of course I dont understand. You know me so well...
What I do know is that interest on escrow is not applicable, hence my comment. Not a difficult concept to understand, but you chose to overlook that. Try standing the right way up.
